Friday, August 29, 2008 - Ortolan Bunting at Brudarebacken
Morning at Brudarebacken. Nice weather but a bit more wind early on would have chased the mosquitoes off... The Ortolan Bunting (Life tick 257) was the peak of the early morning action but later to mid-morning we had for example some Honey Buzzards, a Merlin and perhaps as many as 13 Nutcrackers, 7 of which in one flock. Also a nice Osprey with fish.
 Osprey (Pandion haliaetus), Maraena Whitefish (Coregonus maraena)

About Me
27 year old birder from Gothenburg, Sweden.
Last year we twitched for year ticks. I ended up with 250 which is more than I had lifers when the year started. This year I'll go fairly easy on the year ticks (Though anything under 200 is shameful) but will instead aim for 300 life ticks in Sweden. A task and a half probably...
